South Korea to discuss ‘issues raised’ from leaked documents with US

South Korea is aware of news reports about a leak of several classified U.S. military documents and it plans to discuss “issues raised” as a result of the leak with the United States, a South Korean presidential official said on Sunday.
Several classified U.S. military documents have recently been posted on social media offering a partial, month-old snapshot of the war in Ukraine, three U.S. officials told Reuters on Friday, adding that Russia or pro-Russian elements were likely behind the leak.
The U.S. Justice Department has said it is investigating the leak.
The New York Times reported on Sunday that the leaked documents contain details about internal discussions among top South Korean top officials about U.S. pressure on the staunch ally to help supply weapons to Ukraine, and its policy of not doing so.
The newspaper said that South Korea had agreed to sell artillery shells to help the United States replenish its stockpiles, insisting that the “end user” should be the U.S. military. But internally, top South Korean officials were worried that the United States would divert them to Ukraine.
